A Dangerous Nuisance.

Just above the Richmond end of the
free bridge is Johnstons steam forge.
This establishment is about sixty feet
below the level of the bridge A large
steam escape pipe runs from it, puffs and
snorts, and throws steady series of
steam clouds towards the bridge This is
very trying to the nerves of horse of
any spirit.
One of the TINES reporters on his way to
Manchester yesterday noticed that horse
attached to the buggy of, and driven by,
a well-known Richmond driver, was
frightened to such an extent as to become
almost unmanageable. But for the assist
ance of a gentleman who was passing at
the time, a serious accident would have
occurred. He seized the horse and
dragged him by main force past the
source of his fright.
This is an important NATTER and one
that concerns the welfare of the citizens
of both cities, and it is hoped that it will
be rectifed before any one is subjected
10 the loss Of life or limb.

New York Markets.
REVIEW.

The wheat market has ruled rather weak
to-day and slight decline was established
Opening was steady at ols market sold nm
to 81, and from this point sold steadily down
10 Sls, though rallied somewhat. and close
is at Als. There were rumors ahoat to-day
that large operators had engineered the break
and had covered short wheat freely. but thar
they bought from other prominent bears. 50
local crowd IS still short of the market. and
the feeling IS very bearish. Clique did moth
ing TO day so far as was observable Cobles
are weaker. and the export demand has been
considerably checked. 1t looks as if bulls
are anxious 10 unload.
Corn easier, in sympathy with wheat. and
rather dull. Receipts are expected to i'm.
increase shortly.
Lard and ribs broke sharply early. but
recovered somewhat, and close is steady
Pork nominal, at yesterdays price.

The Board Of Aldermen held their reg
ular monthly meeting at o'clock las
night Seventeen of the eighteen mem
bers were present.
The report of the superintendent oil
the almshouse was received and filed.
The report of the Fire Committee
granting building permits to certain par
ties to erect wooden houses was received
and adopted with the exception of per
nit to j. l.. Taliaferro
The report OF the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings recommending
the rejection Of resolution employing
different hands on alternate days, was
adopted.
The joint Committees of Light and
Finance reported that it was ineXpedient
to reduce the price Of gas at the present
time. They also recommended that the
Council formulate some plan by which
each department of the city government
shall pay for gas used by said depart
ments. Referred to the Committee on
Ordinances
The next business was the consideration
of the ordinance allowing the Richmond
and Danville railroad to extend its tracks
uOhu I)OCk anu w dltI SlittlS, ~ luc
property of b. f. and Thomas Clyde
Communications were received from the
Chamber of Commerce, Grain and Cot
tage Exchange, and citizens in vicinity of
the proposed improvement, endorsing the
ordinance.
Mr.. Dickinson called attention to the
fact that permission had been granted the
c. d 0. Railway Company in 1871 to lay
their track on Dock and Water streets
He expressed grave doubt as to whether
or no permission could be granted to the
K. d ID. II. r. to lay their track.
The City Attorney being present, he
was called upon for his opinion.
Mr. Meredith said that he was mot pre-
pared to state whether or no the Council
had right to repeal the ordinance; but
that, should permission be given two
to lay tracks, the one that first
availed itself of the privilege had the
right of way
The Board resolved to grant twenty
minutes each to a representative for and
against the ordinance.
Mr.. Wyndham r. Meredith spoke in .
avor of the improvement, and Mr. John .
A. Curtis against it.
Mr. Snead moved to amend so as to .
widen the street at the expense of the
applicants for said extension. The amend
nent was lost by vote of s TOT.
DR.. Dickinson moved to amend so as
o allow the track TO run no further than
iillie's creek. Rejected by vote of 10
o a.
The original ordinance was then adopt
ID by vote Of ID to-
Adjourned to meet next Thursday at
pm.

ASummary Collector.

An amusing incident could have been
witnessed near the corner of Seventeenth
and Main streets about 6 o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
Two colored citizens met by chance, as
ii were One was in possession of horse
and wagon, the other Of horse only.
Suddenly he of the horse discovered that
the wagon was one which he had sold his
dusky brother some time ago, and for
which he had received no remuneration
Holding up short, he stopped the derelict
creditor, and demanded either his money
or his property. Payment being refused
he insisted upon restitution, and there
in the public street, the unfortunate
teamster unhtched the wagon and pur-
sued his way hOmeward minus that use
full vehicle.

1.-THE Best References Required"

We often see advertisements for helr
OF various kinds, and they invariably
end, "The best references required u
Now, it often happens that the person So
advertising cannot give references of any
kind as to good treatment or prompt
payment.
Not long since an advertisement APP
peared in paper not many miles from
Richmond. 1t was somewhat to this
effect; Wanted an energetic, sober, in
dustriOus man, etc. He will be required
to deposit $4,000 as a guarantee of good
faith. Salary the first year, $4,000 The
best references required" 1t is more
than probable that the man putting up
the $4,000 would have liked to have had
the best references also.
a man once came to TIMES reporter
and wanted him to insert an advertise
ment warning the public not to trust his
wife on his account and wanted the Gd.
inserted on credit. Here was man who
could not even pay for an advertisement
warning people against trusting any one
on his account. Often times such notices
are put in just to wound the feelings of
the wife, and all the papers are very care
full about publishing them nowadays

Special Services.

The ministration of Rev Mr.. Brown,
the evangelist, at Clay-street Methodist
church, continues to attract large audi
ences. The sermons are plain, pointed,
practical and powerful. There have been
many conversions and the deepest interest
is manifested. The singing, led by Mr..
Avis and large choir, is spirited and
imposing feature. Rev. Mr. Riddick, the
jealous pastor, renders the most efficient
aid, and the meeting is one of the best
ever held in this city.
So interesting and effective were the
special services last week at old ST.
Johns on Church Hill, under the preach
ing of Rev. DR. Newton. that there was
general desire for their continuance
through the present week This has
been arranged for, and the Rev II. NJ
Jackson, d. d., rector Of Grace church.
will preach tonight at 8 O'clock and
every night this week except Saturday.
Rev. l.. A. Cutler, pastor of Marshall.
street Christian church, began a series of
meetings last night at s o'clock. His
first sermon was on "The Work and Mis-
sion of the Holy Spirit"

The Interstate Commerce Bill.

The associated railways of Virginia
and North Carolina give notice through
Sol Haas, traffic manager, that the Inter
State Commerce Bill Company, the asso-
citation which takes effect on April 5, 1887,
makes it necessary for the companies to
give notice to all shippers of all classes
of property, and to connections, that
tariffs and special rates now in effect will
be withdrawn on or before that date, and
new tariffs made in accordance with the
requirements of that law will be issued
as soon as practicable
Notice is accordingly given that all ex-
listing contracts, tariff rates, and special
rates for the transportation Of all classes
of freight over the roads of these compa-
MES, leased lines and branches, will cease
and terminate April a, 1887.

A Worthy ReciDieut.

Chief Fuqua has received $50 from the
city of Manchester in recognition Of ser
vices rendered by the Richmond depart
ment at the Buck mill fire last summer.
1t is proposed to give this money to
Mr.. John Hazlegrove, who was a short
time since so badly stricken with paralysis
as to be totally incapacitated for work.
For sixteen years Mr. Hazlegrove was
driver of Steamer No. 4, and was always
prompt and reliable.
Mr.. Hazlegrove has the sympathy of
all his friends and comrades, whose only
regret in the present case is that it does
not lie within their means to increase the
donation.

The paragraph in reference to the libeI
on Friend John b. Crenshaw in the TINES
Sunday closed as follows:
These are not the first scurilous re-
marks that have been made by this paper
concerning citizens Of this city, and it is
hoped that permanent stop will be put
to this kind of journalism"
The reporter should have used the word
"backguardism." This is not journalism
at all
In the Confederate currency article the
price OF the tea in September 1864, was
1920 not $l.20, and Of the sugar S. and
not 60 cents. Those were the DAYS Of
rye, coffee, and sorgham, and not of tea
and loaf sugar.

Manager Coiey Leaves His Company In
Richmond i'm "A Bad Fix.
A. b. Coley was the manager Of the
Hazel Rirke' Company which played al
Mozart Academy last week. Sunday
morning he left Richmond, leaving the
salaries and board bills of his company
unpaid. The B. p. o. Elks paid the bills
of the ladies of the troupe and also got
them tickets to the North A number of
newspaper men also made up a small
purse for incidental expenses. Several
Of the gentlemen of the company are still
in the city, and will have to await re-
mittances from home.
Richmond appears to be the grave
ward of travelling theatrical companies.
This is the fourth that has gone to pieces
here this season-"Dad's Cir" the Ma
tional Ideals, Lang's Comiques, and, last
ly, Hazel Kirke Mr.. Sloper, Dads
Girl" manager, sloped, and now the "Ha-
eel Kirke" crowd has Coley-apsed.
1t is strange that the patronage of
amusements in Richmond is so small.
Last week there were good shows
at both the Academy and the Thea
tire, yet neither did paying business.
PITY tis-'tis true-that if hanging had
been advertised, ten thousand people
would have been present and even if
big admission fee had been charged, re-
served seats would be at premium 1t
is hoped that this week the patronage at
both the Theatre and Academy will be
worthy Of the great attractions offered

REVIEW

New YORK. March 14.-To-day's mar
ket has not varied very ma erially from those
of last week, beyond the fact that in spite Of
better prices from abroad the bears have
made desperate drive and with better sue
cess than for some time past, the almost
total absence of all public interest having
left the position, as it were, very vulnerable.
and open to any attack. The buying of
stocks, however, has been of better char
acter than the selling, though it has been
done quietly and without any anxiety TO
impede the selling movement. Our opinion
rs 10 the ultimate outcome of the Baltimore
and Ohio is still unchanged. and we believe
that the better class of stocks are getting
down to prices where they will be a safe
purchase; but it is possible that some Of the
fancy stocks may require further liquida-
ton. The market closed dull and steady.
Money, and 8 per cent.
